The whole reason i dont buy one of these consoles is the price of the games.
If they all came out at £20 i would be tempted and probably buy more games as a result.
Theres a hell of a lot of preasure on parents nowadays to keep stumping up the money for this stuff

I'm sure they're not stupid, but neither for that matter are the people who mastermind these exploits/hacks and circumvent the security which prior to the 360's release was deemed "unhackable".
There will be a way around whatever method they're using to detect modded 360's. There is always a way...

Microsoft Starts Banning 360s on LIVE - MS Confirms
>> With the amount of posts we see on our forums ... it's clear, Microsoft decided to start banning Xbox360 with modified firmwares today (both Hitachi-LG and Toshiba-Samsung drives).While it's the same release date as Halo3 beta, it seems that people who didn't download Halo3 also get banned. They probably detect backup discs (and not the modified firmware) when you play 'em online (not confirmed yet).
Even people using the new firmwares with disc-jitter added get banned, so it looks like Microsoft found another way to detect it. However we also see reports of people with modified firmwares that are not banned (yet). Microsoft is known to ban with delay though, so it'll probably take a while before we got a good view on who got banned for what reasons.
Just like on Xbox1 it looks like Microsoft bans the console unique ID (serial), not the LIVE user. Microsoft will not allow anyone to login on LIVE on a banned console.
Many people on the official xbox.com forums also claim they got banned but didn't have a flashed firmware ... we'll have to see how that story develops in the coming hours and days.

So ALL you can do is only run pirated software on them, neglecting the need for purchasing genuine games - Well if thats ALL you can do then silly me for thinking it was hacked.
I'll check into it today, and see what folk are saying.

Be interesting to see the influx of 360's onto eBay and sale forums now. Frankly I think it's ridiculous that MS has chosen to ban the console identifier as opposed to the individual Live account. People buying second hand consoles are going to have no guarantee that the console hasn't been Live banned previously.
By banning the individual Live accounts they could make revenue from increased subscription sales from users making new Live accounts, and the public wouldn't have to worry about the consequences of buying a second hand console. I guess they see artificially increased console sales as a forward step.
McBunny, I was never disputing that, and I understand entirely as I am/was part of the XBS scene with the Xbox1. However it was hacked, period. I still can't see why MS won't allow users to install XBMC and the like though, or rather to release their own XBMC clone. It was the sole purpose I bought an Xbox in the first place, and it opens a whole lot of versatility to an otherwise limited piece of hardware.

Not true, they found a way to hack one of the earlier kernels so you can inject your own code.. its just that most people had updated so it was no longer usefull

that game is utter shite
i remember when i first had my playstation and i got some games for christmas.. 5 games came to nearly 250quid! my parents bought me them cos its what i wanted but im sure they were pissed off
if companys made games like 20 quid then no one would bother getting them modified (£30 then £6 for a game) and they would therefore sell more legit copies and everyones a winner..

Games cost money, as does media/packaging/staffing costs. The days of the bedroom programmer are gone, you can't just knock a game up in a month anymore.
Games are expensive though I agree, but given you could spend £20 on a HD-DVD/BD movie which gives you 1.5hours of enjoyment, a game can offer you a lot more longevity.
That said £50 is a lot to pay.
